103. Dave Cobb on The Beatles 'Revolver'

Americana super-producer Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Isaak, Corb Lund, Chris Stapleton) talks about the innovation and inspiration of The Beatles 'Revolver', the greatest album of all time.

Why was listening to the Beatles Dave's way of rebelling? How did the closing track 'Tomorrow Never Knows' influence 90s British music? How did Dave first turn from band member to producer? How did the production techniques of 'Revolver' influence Dave's production of Sturgill Simpson? And what would Dave do if he got the chance to produce Paul McCartney?
